Chapter 157, a big drop of conscience
"Oh? Guns coming? How I don't know. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Count Sembo said with a smirk, as if he was questioning him, and also seemed a little surprised, he did not expect that the other party would be able to transport a large number of guns without alarming them.
Pete knew what he meant, smiled and didn't answer, but pulled the topic away, "The guns are all in my warehouse, now go and take a look." ”
Led by Pete, a group of Englishmen followed him to the warehouse with great interest.
"Roar, cake seller!"
"God! How many are there? ”
"This, at least more than 100,000 guns, right?"
"How did you get this?"
“。。。。。。”
The British were horrified by the sheer number of guns stored in the warehouse, which was too numerous to shock them.
It's not that they haven't seen 100,000 guns piled together, and they have even seen more guns piled up together, but without any noise, they were suddenly transported in with 100,000 guns, can they not be shocked? Whoever can accept it.
"There are currently 100,000 guns here!" Pete said, pointing to the stacks of guns in the warehouse.
"100,000? How did you get in? "Count Sembo's scalp is tingling.
"This is a trade secret, you can't say it." Pete smiled and shook his head, "Let's talk about what to do with this batch of guns, why don't you try the guns first?" ”
"No, no, no, you have to explain where these guns came from, it's about the safety of our British Empire." Count Sembo's head shook like a rattle.
"It's not impossible to tell you this, but ... This is our secret, I'm afraid ... Pete said with a slurp.
"Don't worry, I will never pass it out, if you tell us, these guns, we bought them all!" Seeing its hesitant look, Count Sembo hastened to say that the iron should be struck by the heat.
"Well, actually... Pete deliberately dragged his voice to satisfy their appetite, and under their hopeful eyes, he slowly said the answer, "Actually, it was transported by submarine." ”
"Poof!"
Pete seemed to hear the sound of vomiting blood, and he continued, "The main thing is that we were afraid that the ship would be intercepted, so we brought the guns here by submarine, and we only arrived yesterday." ”
"Submarine?!" Count Sembo felt that he had been hit by -9999 critical hits, what kind of trade secret is this, who doesn't know that the submarine can be transported, the key is that it can transport too little at one time, and the underwater speed is too slow, which is completely chicken ribs for them. "Where is that stuff?"
"There's the strait, didn't I build a platform there?" Pete said casually.
"Impossible, how can submarines be parked there, and none of our people have found out." Count Senbo immediately shook his head and denied Pete's words.
"But that's just the way it is, the water there is deep enough to dock a submarine." The body has a look of course so.
Count Senbo was silent, it felt that its three views had been broken, it didn't expect it to be so simple, but suddenly it occurred to him that they really didn't have an effective way to detect submarines, and it was okay to use submarines to transport a small amount of things, but there were too many things, and they were in a hurry, so the submarines were useless.
Count Sembo, who was "frightened" by Pete's trade secrets, decided not to discuss the issue and to see what happened to the guns.
100,000 guns are enough to relieve the tension on the front line about guns. Because it was beaten by the Axis powers, a large amount of equipment was thrown away, so it had to rely on re-transporting equipment from the country, which also led to a significant increase in logistics.
Count Sembo already believed in his heart that this batch of guns should not be bad, and it was impossible for a caravan with a submarine to not be able to make such a simple rifle, but the procedure that should be followed still had to be followed, and the goods were inspected first.
The guns were deliberately selected by the people who tested the guns from the innermost at random, for fear that they would put some good guns on the surface, but the guns inside were indeed shoddy.
After getting the gun, they picked up the muzzle of the gun and looked into the light, the rifling inside was clearly visible, very distinct, pulled the bolt, a smell of engine oil suddenly emanated, although the wooden pallet was polished very smooth, but there were still some rough hands, the gun body was still angular in some places, it was a new gun at a glance, and it was by no means second-hand or secondary packaging.
Several Britons whispered with guns, they are all masters, very familiar with guns, after a brief look, they also disassemble the gun, can not confirm from the surface that the gun is new, if the parts inside are second-hand, or not standard?
When they disassemble it, they hold the parts full of oil with their bare hands, and they don't get the oil on them in the slightest.
They are all veterans, the parts can be judged by touching the hand, the hand is upside down, the material of this part is very sufficient, look at the color, not back to the furnace, not miscellaneous materials. Measure it with calipers, the size is very standard, and the manufacturing level of this arms company is very high.
After discussing it for a while, they told Count Sembo about the result.
Earl Sembo, who was still worried about the cheap and bad goods, heard this, and immediately branded his company as a conscientious arms company in his heart.
The next thing is to test the accuracy of the gun, and there is a simple environmental test, and now they can't get too complex environmental tests, and in their opinion, the gun is a sophisticated product, as long as it can be a simple environmental test, and there is an explanation of the degree of robustness, which can smash people without falling apart.
Select five good guns, pick out 50 rifles, 5 bullets per gun, they want no one 10 guns, 50 bullets, accuracy test, as long as the deviation of 100 meters is 45 rings.
Pete is also full of anticipation to look at those test gunners, the key to a gun is to see its accuracy, without a gun with accuracy, what kind of gun is it?
The five men picked up a Lee Enfield IV rifle, loaded it neatly, aimed it at the target that had just been erected 100 meters away, and opened fire. The fastest person misses five bullets in 10 seconds, puts the gun aside, picks up a gun again, loads the bullets, and the target is also changed, these targets are numbered, and finally the bullet rate on the target is calculated.
The accuracy of the Lee Enfield rifle is very high, otherwise it would not be changed to a sniper rifle, or most of the rifles of this period are very accurate, and there is no concept of 400 meters of accuracy, and everyone wants to have higher accuracy and farther they can hit. And Lee Enfield is obviously a freak, in the guns that are generally more than one meter and two meters long, it is only more than one meter and one point, which is much shorter, but because of the design of the bolt, the barrel is not short, and the accuracy is still very high. In China, it has a nickname, called Ying Qiqi, which has appeared in the famous assembly number. (To be continued.) )
